I used to work in the mountains. On average, 3 to 4 thousand feet above sea level. Around, this time of year, we would get snow in the hills, and we would get laid off for 3 months. We would keep trying to drive up the hills till we couldn’t make it any more. On average we would drive until we would spin out, slip back to more level spot, and try again. Slipping back was the hairy part where by it was steep on the down side. We would try about 3 times and radio to the camp we can’t make it and they would tell us to go home. We took turns in driving. On this one really miserable steep site, the driver drove as far as he could, and froze at the wheel. Needless to say, we all got out and got him out of the drivers seat, and picked straws to who would back the truck back down. The winner of the draw, Haw, Haw didn’t know how he made it, and lived. Well, he put it in reverse and slid down. Fine job. We went home. ![]()
When I was tenager, on halloween night we wood go skulking around the neibourhood soaping windows, removing gates, and puting them elsewhere, making weird noises, and all that good stuff that a person did in those days on halloween.One of our favorites, was knocking over outhouses, which was a small 4 by 4 building on a dug hole. It was okay if you didn' t slip into the hole.
It won't be long now, when all the kids will be coming around our doors yelling Treats or tricks. I some times ask them, what kind of a trick can you do. Well I get the blankest look I ever seen. The idea is just to shell out, and keep my mouth shut, which is hard to do for me. But one must not go against the flow. Don't be a rock in a stream. Yuck. Yuck.
I wonder what the terrorist are cooking up now, or do we have a few copycaters, who are trying to have some more morbid fun at the expense of those who are easy to scare. In our own countrie, us, and canada, there seems to be a lot of people who get a kick out of doing all kinds of stuff for what ever reason. In canada, we are known as a giving, and helping nation. I can't see why anyone would want to molest us. Thats all we really need, is the government to clean up it's act on imigration, and have a good look at those that are here. Hang in canada. You have nothing to fear but fear itself.
